TO ALL WHOM .IT MAY CONCERN: v

Be it known that I, JOHN FAHRNEY, of Boonsborough, in the county of Washington, and State of Maryland,

. have invented a new and improved Warming-Attachment for Stoves; and I do hereby declare the following' Ato be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, suicient to enable those skilled in the art to which my p invention appertains to make use ot'it, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, and in which-J .Y

Figure l'repres'ents a stove with my attachment connected.

Figure 2is a top view of' my device detached.

Thisinvention consists of an attaehable and detachable horizontal iron rim, which is to be used in connection withupright cylindriformstovcs for the purpose of supporting dishes, die., around the stovc,'to be warmed by the"heatradiated from` its body.

In the drawings, Avreprcsents a stove, of the character above described, being one of the base-burning or ,"Morning-Glory pattern, which are generally provided with two projecting anges extending around them,

one, a,vopposit'e to the burning coal, and the other, a, a few inches above it.

`B represents lan annular plate of thin metal, ot' such size that it willjust slip down over the ange a or a', as the 'oase may be', and provided with Vlugs b b which extend in towards its centro, and, resting upon said flange whenl thde'vice is in use, silpport it in the position shown in iig. 1, in which position dishes of any kind may be set upon v'it around the stove,v for the purpose of heating them by the heat radiated from around the In case the dishes should 4be too wide to rest on the rim, the latter is provided with sliding plates, C C, attached to it hy4 a.` pin, c, working in a slot, s, Ain the rim, which may be slid out, as shown in rod lines in figs.

1 and 2, therebygreatly widening the rim, and permitting it to receive und hold vessels of any size in com1non-=\` usc for culinary purposes. The outsidevcdge ofthe rim or slides may be turned up so as to form a guard, d LZ, to prevent thc'dishes from slipping off.; and some or all ofthe slides, andeven the rim itself, may bc perforated or provided with register-apertures? r', to admit the ascending hot air directly to the bottom of the dishes to such an extentas may be required to warm, them properlyL i The device vhas been thoroughly tried in connection with the MornnglGrloz-y stove, with which it is designed 'to be 'ehiey' used, and is found to be exceedingly convenient and useful, often saving the trouble and expense'of-building a ire in another stove, and enabling nany kinds `of cooking to bc'done with the Morning- 'Glory stoves which lcould not hei'ore be used'for that purpose.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. An attaohable and detachable rim, B, when used in connection with base-burning or reservoir stoves, substantially as and for the purpose specified.

2. The sliding plates C C,V when employed in.cou1bination with the rim B, for the purpose described.
